Reviews and Awards

"A very impressive body of work....The sheer number of good solid points in these papers makes them rewarding enough, but they are much more than that. They show a highly talented philosopher going hard at important problems with unfailing intelligence and frequent flashes of genuine brilliance, illuminating whatever he touches. Reading them one feels in the presence of a singular intellect."--The Philosophical Review
